It's a stupid idea that only muppet clients would invest in. The better alternative to a 50-50 mix is to invest half the money and keep the other half in cash.

I think it will be readily accessible in the US for a looong time.  The IRS classification basically paved the way for Wall street to pump it.  I have heard from major insiders that they have big plans for BTC and it near future valuation.  BTC is on sale right now, even if it continues to drop.

This is utterly reasonable.

Bitcoin is going to be part of mutual funds at some point.  Just like any other real asset.

And Mark Andressen said Bitcoin would be hated by its early adopters, eventually.

Stuff like this has to happen for the ignorant masses to feel comfortable.

It doesn't change what Bitcoin is.  And despite how we feel about it, its going to play a *major* role in increasing the value of your coins.  

And I'd like to think that long term that pure Bitcoin will still be readily accessible.

Maybe not in the USA, but elsewhere.

The volatility in bitcoin is sometimes more than 200%, said Pantera Capital Management Chief Executive Dan Morehead.

To offset that volatility, Pantera has an offering that gives its investors a 50-50 mix of bitcoin and U.S. Treasurys, he said at the Inside Bitcoins conference in New York on Tuesday.
